FIEO’s ACTIVITIES/PROGRAMMES

As FIEO’s interests and objectives cover the entire gamut of India’s international trade with special focus on exports, its activities and programmes are multiple and directed towards assisting its members to extend their global reach and increase their exports. In this endeavour, FIEO’s status as the apex export promotion organisation in India calls for its active involvement with the Central and State Governments in constantly improving and upgrading the export policy and the associated administrative, financial and operational machinery of the Central and State Governments, as well as the infrastructural and fiscal support available to exporters.

Seminars/Workshops/Trade Fairs etc.

FIEO keeps a tab on developments in the global markets as well as in the domestic arena, thereby keeping its members posted regularly about latest developments in all aspects of exports and imports, as well as investment opportunities, collaborations, joint ventures etc. by organizing seminars, workshops, presentations, visits of multi-product delegations to prospective markets overseas, hosting foreign business delegations in India, organizing buyer-seller meets in India and abroad, arranging Indian product and catalogue displays overseas, sponsoring participation by its members in select international trade fairs and exhibitions, providing advisory services to its members as well as foreign buyers, and arranging regular interaction of exporters with various Central and State Government departments.

Interaction with Government

The Federation’s interaction with prominent policy and decision-makers translates into discussion of issues in-depth, evolution of suitable action plans to promote Indian exports, and also formulation and dissemination of export-related Government policies to trade and industry at large. In this whole exercise of raising exports, FIEO naturally works closely with exporters and Government departments in having their individual and collective problems and difficulties resolved.

Specialized Divisions

The Federation has a number of specialized divisions handling a broad spectrum of activities related to Exim Policy and Procedures, Customs and Excise; Market Research and Development; Services; Banking and Direct Taxes; Market Development Assistance (MDA) Scheme; Electronic Data Interchange and E-Commerce, besides Publicity and Publications, and Membership.

Diverse Database

A large and diverse database maintained by FIEO provides useful information on India’s export sector, both on the individual company and the industry level, and city and State-wise. Information on India’s markets - commodity and port-wise - is also available on request, besides assistance to foreign buyers keen to source their products and services from India.

Nodal Agency for Services Exports

As mentioned earlier, the Federation is the nodal agency nominated by the Government of India for promoting exports of consultancy and other services. As the share of services in India’s GDP has risen to 54%, and is likely to go up further, the Federation has sharpened its focus on raising the country’s share in exports of services to the world by enlarging its membership of service providers and projecting their capabilities to provide a diverse range of services globally.

Market Development Assistance

The Federation is also the agency nominated by the Government of India for processing applications and also disbursing grants given by the Ministry of Commerce to recognized exporters viz., Super Star Trading Houses, Star Trading Houses, Trading Houses and Export Houses, for sales-cum-study tours, participation in exhibitions and fairs overseas, bringing out publications for use abroad, and for advertising in foreign media (brand publicity).

Interaction with Banks/Financial Institutions

The Federation interacts closely with Banks, RBI, financial institutions, Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India as well as the ECGC in its endeavour to strengthen the rapport, and upgrade the business relationship of such professional institutions with the exporting community in their joint endeavour to promote and protect India’s international trade interests.
